MGMT promoter methylation in IDH-WT glioblastoma is the strongest validated predictor of temozolomide benefit (Stupp NEJM 2005 / 2009 long-term — methylated patients derive ~2x OS benefit from RT+TMZ vs RT alone). Standard 1L for newly-diagnosed GBM remains Stupp protocol (concurrent RT + temozolomide → 6 cycles adjuvant TMZ) per SRC-NCCN-CNS-2025, SRC-EANO-GBM-2024 — but methylation status drives intensification decisions: in elderly MGMT-methylated patients, hypofractionated RT + TMZ (Perry NEJM 2017) is preferred, while elderly MGMT-unmethylated patients can receive RT alone with much smaller TMZ benefit. CeTeG/NOA-09 (Herrlinger Lancet 2019) showed lomustine + TMZ + RT may extend OS in newly-diagnosed MGMT- methylated GBM but is not standard worldwide.Stupp protocol: concurrent RT + temozolomide → 6 cycles adjuvant TMZ (1L MGMT-methylated GBM per SRC-NCCN-CNS-2025, SRC-EANO-GBM-2024)
hypofractionated RT + TMZ (elderly ≥65y MGMT-methylated per SRC-EANO-GBM-2024)
lomustine + TMZ + RT (alternative MGMT-methylated 1L per CeTeG/NOA-09 — listed as option in SRC-EANO-GBM-2024)

Primary current-line option

Standard plan
★ DEFAULT
Indication
IND-GBM-NEWLY-DIAGNOSED-STUPP
Regimen
Stupp protocol — Temozolomide concurrent + adjuvant
Drugs + NSZU
  • Temozolomide (DRUG-TEMOZOLOMIDE) Concurrent: 75 mg/m² PO daily during RT 6 weeks; Adjuvant: 150 mg/m² PO days 1-5 cycle 1 (escalate to 200 if tolerated) every 28 days × 6 cycles · Concurrent daily × 42 days then 4-week break then adjuvant cycles 1-6 · PO ✓ NSZU covered
Reason
Provisional current-line default from ALGO-GBM-NEWLY-DIAGNOSED-1L: step 1 did not select a treatment branch. IDH-mutant glioma grade 4: not GBM per WHO 2021. Manage as astrocytoma IDH-mutant (vorasidenib INDIGO). Separate disease pathway.

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • Symptomatic raised intracranial pressure / mass effect in glioblastoma: declining GCS, new focal deficit, papilledema, midline shift on imaging, or seizure cluster. Mandates immediate neurosurgical / corticosteroid intervention BEFORE oncologic systemic therapy. RF-GBM-INTRACRANIAL-PRESSURE-EMERGENCY
  • Glioblastoma progression on or after first-line Stupp regimen: MRI evidence of true progression (RANO criteria — distinguished from pseudoprogression by serial imaging / advanced techniques), early recurrence <6 months post-RT (often pseudoprogression — repeat MRI at 4-8 weeks before re-treatment decision), or distant new lesion. Routes from upfront Stupp to recurrent-GBM algorithm (re-resection + bevacizumab / TTF / regorafenib / lomustine / re-irradiation). RF-GBM-TRANSFORMATION-PROGRESSION

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-GBM-NEWLY-DIAGNOSED-STUPP)
  • Do NOT delay starting RT beyond 6 weeks post-resection
  • Do NOT skip MGMT testing — defines elderly (≥70) regimen choice
  • Do NOT skip PJP prophylaxis (universal lymphopenia → opportunistic infection)
  • Do NOT use enzyme-inducing AEDs (phenytoin, carbamazepine) — accelerate TMZ clearance; use levetiracetam
Standard plan (IND-GBM-NEWLY-DIAGNOSED-ELDERLY-TMZ)
  • Do NOT use TMZ alone in MGMT-unmethylated GBM ≥70 — minimal benefit; prefer hypofractionated RT
  • Do NOT use full Stupp (60 Gy/30 fx) in patients ≥70 or KPS <60 — excessive toxicity
  • Do NOT skip MGMT testing before choosing TMZ vs RT — this is the key biomarker in elderly
  • Do NOT skip PJP prophylaxis (co-trimoxazole) — lymphopenia risk applies to TMZ mono too
Standard plan (IND-GBM-NEWLY-DIAGNOSED-ELDERLY-HYPORT)
  • Do NOT use full Stupp 60 Gy/30 fx in patients ≥70 or KPS <60 — unacceptable toxicity in elderly
  • Do NOT omit TMZ without first checking MGMT status — methylated patients benefit significantly
  • Do NOT skip MGMT testing — drives concurrent TMZ decision
  • Do NOT start RT without post-resection MRI (within 48h of surgery)
  • Do NOT delay RT beyond 6 weeks post-surgery
